What a piece ! As you can see, it already took an important place in my music room (a little messy since yesterday...) showing the place it will take in my life. (sounds pompous, but pomp was made for that sort of great event ; drum roll please...........)
A life dream come true ! And what a sound ! :O))

hey,

i soon got a gig at a vernissage where i need to play 30 minutes solo vibes (omg that will be really tough for me but it´s a cool challenge). for preparing that gig i recorded today this tune and thought i share it with you. i love that song and it´s fun to play

What progression is this, and what's the exercise for this?

You guys figure it out!

hey vibesworkshop, Enjoy!

i am having trouble uploading my PDF of the Sheet music.

i can send it to you if you comment your email adress

This forum pertains to "the school" but I am not sure I know what the school is. I assume it relates to the 500+ lessons that are contained in the site. Before I subscribe (even before I take the 24hr trial) I would like to understand the way the school operates. I took private weekly lessons for a few months a decade ago, my teacher was great and it worked well for me. I was making steady progress but since then my vibes has been neglected. I am not in a position to take private lessons now. I tried a few of the video/dvd and book instructions and they have not been very useful.

In 12 keys? PDF is attached. Might be a nice lick to put through the keys and will also give you a quick study in a 4 mallet II V I progression.

I do think when you play something through the keys you do a lot of processing in your brain.

Pretty smoking vibe solo! He gets house!

Check out the choruses up front with just drums and joe! OMFG And the rest of the solo is smoking. what a unique cat!

I started a solo arrangement to Bobby Hutcherson's "Little B's Poem".

Enclosed is a PDF, and an audio generated from Sibelius. I also attached an initial attempt at it (just a few measures).

The original recording has vibes and flute playing unison.

Inspired by that, I decided to play octaves in the right hand (the PDF only has single line melody, but the intention is to play octave), with the left hand comping with a sort of jazz waltz stride.

Any takers to try it out?

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

In the past year, it's been a project of mine to get to a place where I can play as effortlessly over odd meters (11, 13, 15 and 17) as in 4, 3, 5 and 7. This is the result of having checked it out for a few months. So this vid dates back to about March of 2010. Since then, it has become like second nature. In fact I enjoy playing over those extended odd meters more than anything else. I have my good friend Katisse to thank for getting me involved with this stuff. If you have any questions as to how to practice this or some thoughts of your own, please feel free to post.
